So, you must be thinking, "huh?" Alright, let me explain. Of course you should follow the 10 commandments, but Jesus got specific for Christians of the New Covenant (ahem...us). The first 6 are in Matthew 19:18-19.
1) You shall not murder.
Then the seventh (and a repeat of the sixth) are in Matthew 22:37-40.
7) You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.
I just wanted to share that with you guys, because I thought it was pretty cool. It's just something to think about. I think it's awesome that even after we were given the 10 commandments, Jesus simplifed it even more. Even more evidence that He is our constant Guide and Helper.
2) You shall not commit adultery.
3) You shall not steal.
4) You shall not bear false witness.
5) Honor your father and your mother.
6) You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
